fnj48ghjk: The the latest Lutris software version you can log in with your gog account and play the GOG games you have bought. This kind of replace the need of an own Linux client from GOG.
Ganni1987: While that is partially true, it doesn't address the issue that some games are not released here at all. An example of this is the game Heroes of Hammerwatch where (I quote) the dev said:
Sorry, their Galaxy system and SDK doesn't support Linux so in the end it seems like its not coming on GOG until we get that sorted
Ganni1987: Personally I tried to reason with the devs of this game that some people may still buy the Linux version without the multiplayer, but they didn't wish to offer an inferior version.
I don't blame them. For every person that will happily buy the game with multiplayer stripped out, there's another person who won't buy it, and vocally complain about the dev selling an inferior product.
The problem is all on GOG, and not at all on the dev's.
